ELTOC 2021: Learner Agency: Strategies and ideas for the secondary and adult classroom by Terrie Craddock

It is not a new concept that learning is more effective when teaching practices support students as active in their own learning.

Learning that is characterized by learning agency sees learners as active participants in their own learning and engages them in the design of their experiences and the realisation of their learning outcomes, it gives them choice and voice.

This presentation will outline some benefits and challenges of promoting learner agency with a particular focus on practical ideas to bring learner agency into the secondary and adult classroom. We will also cover the area of assessment, looking at ideas for continuous, self and peer assessment for Learner Agency.
